Retro Rider (2016), by Matt Miezio
Featured Artist Matt Miezio shares about his work and connection to Santa Cruz:
“My name is Matt Miezio and I am a Collage Artist / Graphic Designer based in Santa Cruz, CA. I primarily use vintage magazines, scissors, an X-acto, and glue to make my collage art. 90% of the material I use is sourced from National Geographic’s magazines I have found dumpster diving around Santa Cruz.”
Future Chariot (2016)
“The majority of my work is exploring surrealism or futurism based on my current state of mind. So for the most part I have no idea what I am going to create until I’m half way into the process. It tends to usually be based off a feeling or a visual.”
Starfish Stroll (2016)
“I think the diversity of Santa Cruz and its surroundings help give me a wide range of ideas when it comes to starting a new piece. What connects me to Santa Cruz would have to be the culture. I love how much passion there is towards art, music, and nature.”
